I think this is a great idea, and the main non-technical limitation is
writing to lots of callers to get their permission to include their
dances. Several people have proposed something similar, but the
actual work of checking with lots of callers has been too daunting.

Hi all,
I'm currently in programming school casting about for programming projects,
and I had the idea of a giant searchable contradance database, where you can
filter by move combination, etc.
My question: is this something people would be interested in having? Or does
it run the risk of infringing on intellectual property, or shortchanging
dance writers on book sales, etc.? (Obviously no dances would be included
without the author's permission, but it may be that making a huge ton of
dances freely available and searchable in one place online would be a death
blow to published books of dances, or have some other negative effect I'm
not foreseeing right now...)
Anyway: does anyone have any thoughts on this project?
Cheers,
Maia
